Like the title says has anyone ever won B&H Photos $250 monthly gift drawing? I've been ordering from them for years and most of the time I fill out the survey yet I've never once won. I realize their customer base is widespread, but so is the FM user base so perhaps someone can verify that this is a real drawing and not some silly scam to collect data.

Why would you think it was a scam just because you haven't won? The odds of anyone winning are astronomical. It's just a long-standing B&H promotion that might encourage some to buy more stuff, more often. $250 is kind of a lame prize anyway. Their used department made more than that on me in one in one quick transaction. BTW: If you have ordered from them in the past they have all the data they need.

Considering how many sales orders B&H processes every month, the chances of winning must be rather low. $3000 per annum is a small promotional expense to them, so it would be rather foolish not to pay out. That being said, stranger things have happened.

Of course statistically it is most likely not worth one's time to participate, in the same way as a state lottery.

Statistically you've probably got a better chance of winning the $250 gift card vs. the state lottery. With that said it would still be interesting if B&H posted the numbers so we could figure out our odds.
